Davis-Standard takes latest extrusion and converting technology to NPE 2015

Davis-Standard, LLC will promote its latest extrusion and converting technology at booth W6144 during NPE 2015 in Orlando, Florida. The Davis-Standard exhibit will demonstrate a running profile line for producing ABS 3D printing rod in line with NPE’s focus on 3D technology. The rod will then be used to show how 3D printing is gaining traction as a quick and inexpensive way to make prototypes.

Another exhibit is the direct drive extruder with energy efficient technology. The direct drive technology uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor and an energy efficient heater and screw design. Davis-Standard will demonstrate how this results in operational efficiency.

Another product is the MEDD extruder with DS-eVue controls, a compact extruder for medical tubing. The extruder features a direct drive motor, linear movement, replaceable feed section liner, and interchangeable barrel assemblies. It will be shown with the DS-eVue Windows-based® mid-range controller.

One highlight of the exhibit is the dsX technology, a new product line for blown film, cast film, extrusion coating and medical tubing applications that offers cost-effective, highly engineered packages supported by regional engineering and service teams.

Davis-Standard has one of the industry’s most extensive selection of feedscrews, spare parts, and rebuilds for controls, gearboxes and extruders. Several feedscrew designs along with a CMR controls upgrade and a rebuilt Thermatic extruder will show the advantages of these capabilities.
